One of BIaire's Lieutenants Fenc-
ing in the Northwest.
The portly form, gigantic stature and
good-natured face of Hon. 7. B. Reed,
of Maine. one of Mr.. Blaine'S most
trusted lieutenantS, was conspicuous in
the rotunda of the Ryan last evening,
after pleasant day spent at Minneapo-
lis with his friend, Hon. W. ID. Wash
burn. :.
No; my visit has no political signifi-
cance.'' said Mr.. Reed in response to a
query by the representative OF the
q oBE. but in company with Repre-
sentative Hit, of Illinois, l am EN- route
TO Sitka. Alaska, on a pleasure trip.
Since left Washington. after the adj
journment of congress, l have eScheWed
politics in a measure and have been tax
ing things pretty easy. My western
trips hitherto have not extended beyond
Chicago. but this time | made up my
mind to explore this section of the coun-
try more thoroughly, and shall spend a
day or two ut st. Paul. The evidences
of prosperity that l see on every hand
have demonstrated that my colleagues
in the house have not overeStimated the
condition of affairs i'll the West, eSpecl-
ally as to its resources for yielding
money on investments.
1T is little early yet to make any
prophesieS regarding the political out
look; even if l was thoroughly con-
verSant with facts enough to warrant an
interview on this subject. But OF one
thing am certain. and that is there
will be no child'S play in the next CAM
paign, but hard work from the outset

Despite the announcement made by the
Maine statesman, among those well in
formed on the prospective candidacy
of his leader there is an impression that
his visit to Minnesota at this time means
the throwing out of feelerS for the next
nominating convention in 1888. There
is growing feeling of uneaSineSS at the
strength already being developed IN the
Northwest for Gen. Sherman, and
the fact that ex-Representative Wash
burn is an Out-and-out adherent Of Mr..
Blaine leads to the suppoSition that the
pins are being set up, if not for solid
Blaine delegation from Minnesota, at
least for division of the vote of the
state in the convention. Shortly after
his arrival in st. Paul, MesSrs. Reed
and Hit left their hotel and hurried
over to- Minneapolis, where they spent
the day at Mr.. Washburn'S, and it is
very likely that considerable business
was transacted ere the trio separated.
To all callers at the Ryan for Mr..
Reed there was but one response, mo
one in the roOm," and number Of per-
sons who called to pay respects were
disappointed in not seeing the Repub-
lican leader of the house of representa-
